    Do you have an interview scheduled in which your husband can not attend?
  2. EatBulaga
    Yes, definitely let everyone know. Thanks.
  3. EatBulaga
    Was the 1040-NR filed? https://www.irs.gov/forms-pubs/about-form-1040-nr And check the 1040, if you claimed any exemption from taxes on earnings as a nonresident, usually it is an item in Other Taxes? If the answer is no to both, then your federal taxes are "no" for N-400, Part 9, item 4. However, I'm not familiar enough with the California state tax laws if your situation can still be "no". Others more familiar with California state tax may chime in. If no definite answer, then I would take your tax filings and N-400 to ask an immigration lawyer.

    @PGA Means not a good time to travel. But I still recommend LPR or US Citizens sponsoring visas to enroll in the TSA Precheck/Global Entry for the extra background check. @Bob in Boston The Dems and Reps are using travelers as political football. @JD2 Interesting. Which airport? Enforcement may depend on whether particular airports have the workers, because removing the programs seems to be extra work for the already stressed TSA system.

    https://apnews.com/article/homeland-security-tsa-precheck-global-entry-dc1d2ccd913a74fa2c8b91dad340a3b3 Not a good time to travel, especially with this very short notice. LPR and US citizens are eligible for both TSA Precheck and Global Entry. I have been advocating both programs for years with the extra background check by the DHS to complement the immigration journey. https://www.visajourney.com/forums/topic/799684-global-entry-with-conditional-green-card/#findComment-10847181 Hope this temporary suspension ends soon for the sake of all travelers.

    First, the K1 visa expires on entry. Second, if the I-94 expires in 9 days, instead of worrying about delays with I-693, best for you to submit the I-485 as soon as possible for "authorized stay". See if this post explains the confusion for DS-3025 or I-693? https://www.visajourney.com/forums/topic/799273-k1-aos-have-ds-3025-and-received-rfe-for-i-693-medical-documentation/#findComment-10833637 The short answer is that a copy of DS-3025 is sufficient to submit with the I-485. The long answer is that USCIS may or may not RFE for I-693 with the DS-3025, but submitting the I-693 with the I-485 avoids the chance for RFE for I-693. Don't confuse the extreme case mentioned by Nich-Nick as the norm. Most US Civil Surgeons are competent. Unfortunately, only USCIS or the US Civil Surgeon can answer if your DS-3025 is complete/compliant or not. If not, then USCIS will send an RFE for the I-693. Or you can see the US Civil Surgeon to have the I-693 completed, or determine the needed exam or doses to make the I-693 compliant. USCIS should have a copy of the original DS-3025 in the brown packet received by border patrol. You should also include a copy of the DS-3025 single-sided, with the I-485. Yes, you keep a copy of DS-3025 for yourself. If USCIS does RFE for a I-693, then the US Civil Surgeon will need to see your copy of DS-3025. BTW, if you do get the I-693 RFE, the US Civil Surgeon seals the I-693 and supporting documents in a brown packet much like the K1 brown packet. And you send in the sealed I-693 brown packet with the RFE letter.

    Got our Biometrics for both the N400/I-751. Both statuses changed to "Case Is Still Being Processed By USCIS". https://www.visajourney.com/forums/topic/834958-n-400-january-2026-filers/page/6/#findComment-11097706 The I-751 status changed from "Case Is Being Actively Reviewed By USCIS" to "Case Is Still Being Processed By USCIS".
  18. EatBulaga
    After trying to walk-in ahead of the scheduled Biometrics appointment and getting turned away, we went on our scheduled date. https://www.visajourney.com/forums/topic/835495-after-n-400-biometrics-is-scheduled-can-we-walk-in-in-advance-like-the-i-485-biometrics/#findComment-11097640 Unlike our I-485 Biometrics where we were in and out in less than 15 minutes, our N-400/I-751 Biometrics took about 45 minutes, most of the time was spent waiting in the sitting area. https://www.visajourney.com/forums/topic/786775-july-2022-aos-filers/page/4/#findComment-10722883 The actual Biometrics photo-taking and fingerprinting took less than a few minutes. When we showed up early, there was a line out the door, and many were in the sitting area already. Although everyone was calm and the USCIS agents were helpful and cheerful, there was a sense of urgency or tension in the air. Maybe the stories of the ICE showing up to interviews or to other USCIS sites had everyone on alert since the USCIS Application Support Center sits in an immigrant-heavy area of Atlanta? After exiting, we saw the 2 updates: one for N-400 and one for I-751. Both are updated to "Case Is Still Being Processed By USCIS". The I-751 status changed from "Case Is Being Actively Reviewed By USCIS" to "Case Is Still Being Processed By USCIS".

    Does she have a pending I-751 and N-400? She will get an update for each case.
  21. EatBulaga
    Well, we tried to walk-in yesterday afternoon ahead of the scheduled Biometrics Appointment. The USCIS officer said they had to cut-off the walk-in an hour earlier since there are already 60 walk-ins in queue. She recommended to try early in the morning if you want to walk-in for Biometrics. So I guess we'll just go at our scheduled time. Hope this is an extra data point for those interested.
  22. EatBulaga
    1. The usvisascheduling.com replaces the old ustraveldocs site. You should have input your DS-160 ID number when starting the usvisascheduling. This links all the relevant info to the scheduling 2. The dependents are minor dependents that should have been listed on the K1 application. 3. Instead of delivering to the home address, I'd recommend picking up at the nearest authorized delivery location listed on the drop-down menu.
  23. EatBulaga
    Yes. For B-2 visas, scheduling biometrics the day before the interview is common. This reduces the amount of time needed to stay in Manila, especially for those having to travel from the provinces.
